Designed for dancers ages 9-11, this intermediate tap curriculum builds on earlier levels with over 65 progressive exercises and a dynamic 2-chorus buck-style routine.

This 3-CD bundle features both vocal instruction and instrumental tracks, enhanced by an energizing pop-rhythm soundtrack to keep students engaged. Teachers love the clear structure and seamless lesson planning, while students develop stronger musicality, timing, and performance confidence.
